There Is A Place In My Heart For You

"Just follow my step and you'll be fine." Xue Er looked at him confidently and followed his move. "See you're doing just fine. You're gonna be a pro at this after dancing with me." Xue Er laughed, "How could you say that without being shameless." Everyone suddenly stopped dancing and all looked at Xue Er and Zhi Chen. "Wow, when did Xue Er dance so good," as Wei Wei is amazed by Xue Er's move. Yi Ping taps on her, "WHAT?" as Wei Wei turned to him. "Want me to teach you some cool moves too?" Wei Wei stared at him and thought about it. She then shook her head and said: "No thank you." "Why?? Don't you know I won a dancing competition at elementary school?" "ELEMENTARY??" she laughed, "You're joking right?" Suddenly, Yi Ping looked at her seriously and grabbed her hand.

"Hey, where are we going?" "We're gonna have a competition," as Yi Ping exclaimed. Yi Ping went over to the dance floor and stopped Xue Er from dancing. "Let's have a competition." Xue Er looks at him, "What did you say?" He gave an eye signal to her and Xue Er somehow knows what's going on. "But I'm not good at it to compete tho," as she said it silently that Yi Ping could only hear it. "I accept this challenge." Both Yi Ping and Xue Er turned around and saw Zhi Chen standing in between them. "But…." "There's no but. We will win," looking at Yi Ping and then turning around to Xue Er, and reassuring her that it'll be fine.

The next music began to play, "TANGO TIMEEE, EVERYONE!" the announcer shouted over the mic. "Let's see who wins," Yi Ping threatened while asking for Wei Wei's hand. Xue Er became stiff again, "Isn't the song too fast?" "Just look at me. We got this," Zhi Chen comforted her. She took his hand and slowly got the hang of the feeling and started enjoying herself, "Hehe, this is fun!" "What did I say?" Zhi Chen grinned after seeing her enjoy. But they soon have to switch partners and as they did, "I'll see you soon," Zhi Chen kisses her hand goodbye.

"Hey there, do you like the party so far?" Xue Er's new partner asked. "Umm...yea….

sure, I'm enjoying it," she replies. "Glad to hear. I'm the son of this party holder, Peter." "OH. I'm Xue Er." as she answers, trying to remember the steps. "I have noticed you from afar. Did you bring your boyfriend here by any chance? I'm free after this, wanna hang out, somewhere alone." Xue Er gave him a suspicious look, " So this is what mom meant," Xue Er mumbles to herself. "Hm?" "Ah… I'm actually with my boyfriend." He glanced at Zhi Chen, "Him?" "...Yes," she quietly answered. "Sorry, Zhi Chen, I'll be borrowing your name for a while," she said in her mind. After some time, Xue Er and Zhi Chen finally meet again, "Nice to see you again, princess." "Princess?" she laughed. "Let's skip out before we switch again" he leaned over and whispered to her ears.

"... O-okay"

They headed to the food section to rest and shockingly saw Yi Ping and Wei Wei. "Weren't you guys dancing?" Xue Er questioned. "After realizing we have to switch, Wei Wei bailed out," as Yi Ping explains what happened. Xue Er looked at Wei Wei who was drinking her wine, "Heh~" Wei Wei glared over, "What?" Xue Er pick up a mini sandwich, and tease, "Nothing~"

"Girls, your mother isn't feeling well and I'm gonna bring her back home. Do you girls want to go back with us?" "Uncle, I want to." Wei Wei and Xue Er look at Yi Ping. "I don't get it. I thought he would want to stay," as Xue Er stood there thinking. "Okay, let's all go back then, but first we have to go say goodbye. Xue Er and Wei Wei come with me." As they went with their dad to say goodbye, the group of girls came over to Zhi Chen again. "Hi, I'm Qiu Ya. Do you remember me?" Everyone waited for him to respond, but he didn't say anything. "If you don't remember me it's fine. Can I have your phone number?" *AHEM* "Excuse me, passing by." Xue Er pushed the girls to the side and grabbed Zhi Chen's hand and left.

"Hey, master Xue. You forgot about me," as Yi Ping exclaimed. "SHUSH, are you going to make a scene? Don't you see I'm here?" as Wei Wei came back and started walking out. After they left, everyone turned to Qiu Ya. "Qiu Ya, are you not going to do anything about it?" as one of the girls blurted out. Other girls joined in and made Qiu Ya frustrated. "BAI XUE ER, one day Zhi Chen is going to leave you and will be mine." She didn't say it out loud but just stared at the door.

The ride going back was pretty quiet. Zhi Chen leaned in closer and looked deeply in Xue Er who fell asleep. "BE NICE TO HER," as Yi Ping exclaimed. Wei Wei hits him in the head, "OUCH, why did you hit me!" "Why can't I." "I'm gonna strangle you one day," as Yi Ping mumbles. "Hm, what did you say?" as she gave him a scary look. Yi Ping shifts further away and accidentally hits Zhi Chen. "Safe me bro,.." But Zhi Chen didn't care and pushed him back. "HEY, you're supposed to help me." As Yi Ping and Wei Wei were arguing, Zhi Chen slowly placed Xue Er's head on his shoulder.

As they arrive home, Zhi Chen suggests he will carry Xue Er into her room. "Be careful with your back, she is heavier than you think," Yi Ping joked. Zhi Chen ignored him and carefully picked Xue Er up trying not to wake her up. "Her room is the second door upstairs," her mom informed him as she walked in with her husband. "I understand." Leaving Wei Wei and Yi Ping alone outside.

Up in Xue Er's room, Zhi Chen slowly lay her down on her bed, "Oof, he wasn't lying..." Laying on the bed, she clenches her fist, and scolds, "... half of the weight is from the dress!" "You're awake?" he laughed. "Who wouldn't..." as she rubs her head. He became alert, "Did I accidentally hit your head on something?" sitting on the bed, "Let me see." "I'm...FINE." removing his hands away from her head making them locking eyes for some time. He slowly leaned forward towards her face, and she unconsciously closed her eyes.

"AHHH, I'm so tired," he exaggerated as he rolled over laying on her bed. She stood there frozen, "What was I thinking??"

Xue Er puts her hands on her face. "Wake up," as she slightly hit it. "What are you doing?" Xue Er turned around staring at Zhi Chen who's laying on her bed. "If you're tired then go back home and sleep. This is my bed." "I see how it is. Kicking me out after carrying you all the way here." Xue Er scratches her head, "I mean, I need to rest. So, can you please go out?"

Zhi Chen lays there unmove, "promise me another thing and I'll go." Xue Er looks at him, "What's with you and all those promises? Why do you ask so much." "I'll give you five seconds to think about it, or else I'll just fall asleep here," as he grabs for her pillow. Xue Er took a deep breath and finally agreed, "What is it?" Zhi Chen got up and patted Xue Er on the head, "That's my good girl. I want you to be my girlfriend."

"YO-YOUR WHAT??" she stuttered with her face turning bright red, she was stunned by his words. "...I don't have the energy to play with you right now," looking back at Zhi Chen, "Suit yourself. I'll just sleep in Wei Wei's room," as she got off her bed and started heading to the door. "H-Hey!! Wait. Fine, you win," he sadly stated. He walked up to her, holding her hand, he said, "I meant what I said though," giving her a sincere look and pecked her forehead.
